Description
Description:
HoverRail is a selection of new blocks that enable you to create maglev style trains and much much more!. The original mod was created by FeepingCreature and he kindly gave his permission for us to reupload and maintain it.

HoverRail is opensource so if you would like to help out please feel free to get in touch.

Contents:
* Maglev Engine Large/Small
* New Maglev Engine Large/Small
* New Maglev Engine Small 3x1
* 1x Rail
* 3x Rail
* 10x Rail
* 30x Rail
* 10-12 Radius Curve Block
* 10-12 Radius Left Junction
* 10-12 Radius Right Junction
* 1x5 Upwards Slope
* 1x5 Slope Bottom Transfer
* 1x5 Slope Top Transfer

Basic Guide:
* Build two rails with a one block gap
* Build train above it
* Put MagLev engine blocks at the bottom of the train in-line with the rails (Four needed to keep it stable)
* Make sure train has power available. About 1-100kW are required per engine.
* Cautiously drop the train to the track (Good idea to start with block destruction turned off)
* Slowly raise force until stable. Around 1-10M is recommended.

Open Source:

Hey Izion & creators, firstly I LOVE this mod, so thank you for keeping it alive.

I've been struggling with the extreme lag that this mod introduces when you add 20+ monorail engines, and I have reworked some of the code to run in worker threads and reduce the number of runs per tick. I'd love to share this with you for you to integrate into the main code line.

There's also a couple of bugs, possibly introduced by game updates in the way that the code work when storing properties about maglev engines, and for me this is game breaking as you have to reset force levels when copying & pasting / welding from blueprints / reloading the game etc. I've hacked a solution into the code, but I'm considering rewriting the seriliaisation code as it could use a bit of work.

Happy to give you what I've done, please let me know if you're interested in merging this into the main branch :).

For everyone else asking if this mod still works - YES IT DOES

Every time the maglevs move onto the next rail section, it decides to freak out. is there a way to fix this?

Does this still work? Thanks in advance regardless.

Hey i cant figure why the Rails Fling the Cart when it turns corners

Is there an unpowered variant of this mod that uses permanent magnets to achieve the same end goal of floating a frictionless mass? Lot of people are looking for a revived variant of the Maglev Rail mod.

how do i drive forward?

You have to lower the strength of the engine for it to stop shaking and exploding.

top !! il serait absolument parfait avec des rails 30°/45°/60°

Is this mod still supported? I tried it out and i have problems moving from one track part to the other one. Alltime while moving over it everything is shaking and exploding.
